 * If you're on the rooftop of the barn at the dairy farm in E1M1 and you stand on the part surrounding the chimney on three sides, running perpendicularly towards the higher part of the roof does not cause you to step up, but running into the corner between the chimney and the higher roof does. Why?

+* Peeing restores 2 health and lowers your alcohol level. This can even be done when you're dead, which is obviously just an oversight. Resurrecting yourself this way therefore should not be considered a cheat. Sometimes when you do either this or type in the rdelvis cheat when dead, the game will start displaying a message saying "you used the cheat to come back to life", however this is clearly assumed to only pop up after typing the rdelvis cheat ("THE cheat").

 * An actor getting hit by a moving vehicle dies instantly. It can glitch and cause massive amounts of blood splattering, leaving multiple sprites hanging in the air.
 ** It can also cause the dead body to be launched high up in the air, or to get stuck on the vehicle itself. The same effects can happen to the player, causing the camera to move accordingly.
 ** Could have something to do with queueing the same effect on every frame that the enemy or body spends in the deadly sector.
 * If in god mode while getting hit, you can just move off the car sector to restore a normal state. If you hit "use" while semi-dead like this, you get the reload prompt to show. If you answer "no", the game enters a weird in-between state (normally this causes the level to reset). Effects:

 '''This information has mainly been copied over from the Duke Nukem 3D guide.''' Also the [https://www.speedrun.com/duke3d/guides guides on SRC]. It has to be checked point by point to make sure it applies to RR as well. How this will be done is by creating new sub-topics under every topic from the old guide, and gradually promoting them to be the main topic and deleting the old information, although at the same time, some new information may be discovered that applies to Duke 3D, which needs to end up in that guide. Also RR-specific topics have to be covered on this page eventually.
